Can prior knowledge increase task complexity? – Cases in which higher prior knowledge leads to higher intrinsic cognitive load

Key Points

Key points are not available for this paper at this time.

Abstract

Our findings suggest that cognitive load theory's assumptions about intrinsic load and prior knowledge should be refined, as there seems to exist a sub-set of problem-solving tasks for which the traditional relationship between prior knowledge and reported ICL is reversed.
